Grattis John Leyton, 75 år idag

Jag älskar denna låt, "Johnny Remember Me". Lyssna på det härliga ekot och texten
som ger dig kalla kärar. Den tillhör den där genren "Death ditties", som handlar om kärlek och
där ens älskade dör. Andra exempel är Jan and Dean's "Dead Man's Curve". Detta är
alltså John Leyton som sjunger så kusligt bra här. Låten kom etta i USA 1961.
Här kommer mer info från Wikipedia om denna klassiska låt:
"Johnny Remember Me" is a song which became a 1961 UK #1 hit single for John Leyton, backed by The Outlaws. It was producer Joe Meek's first #1 production. Recounting the haunting – real or imagined – of a young man by his dead lover, the song is one of the most noted of the 'death ditties' that populated the transatlantic pop charts in the early to mid-1960s. It is distinguished in particular by its eerie, echoing sound (a hallmark of the Joe Meek production style) and by the ghostly, foreboding female wails that form its backing vocal (by Lissa Gray). The recording was arranged by Charles Blackwell.
